This was definitely the wrong time for the San Francisco Giants to go into a huge rut away from AT&T Park.

Wilson Ramos broke a 1-1 tie with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning, helping the Washington Nationals defeat the Giants 3-1 at Nationals Park.

The win by the Nationals completed a three-game sweep by the Nationals over the reigning World Champions.

With the loss, the Giants finished their six-game road trip through Miami and Washington D.C., with a record of 0-6.

Ramos put the finishing touches on the scoring in the bottom of the eighth inning, as he drove in a run on a single. Newly announced starting outfielder Bryce Harper picked up two hits with a single and a double.

Harper was not the only player from this game who will be heading to Cincinnati as a starter in the annual Midsummer Classic. Buster Posey will be representing the Giants as the starting catcher.

Jordan Zimmerman pitched seven innings, allowing one run on three hits, walking just one and striking out eight.

The only run that Zimmerman allowed came on a Brandon Crawford home run in the top of the fourth inning.

Ryan Vogelsong and Bruce Bochy were ejected by home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi in the bottom of the fifth inning after being upset with Cuzzi’s strike zone.

Prior to being ejected from the game, Vogelsong allowed one run on three hits, walking three and striking out two.
